Introduction
Today's smartphones and mobile devices are capable of running power hungry applications thanks to their quad-core CPUs and integrated GPUs. Great user demand for these applications have pushed the mobile devices to their computational limit. The disparity between user demand for computational power and the architectural limits on mobile processing power gave rise to the emergence of mobile-cloud-computing: a platform that allows mobile devices to utilize cloud resources to augment their computational (and storage) capability. Due to the mature cloud computing infrastructure provided by cloud operators such as Amazon, Google, and Microsoft, offloading a part of the mobile processing to the cloud seems like a natural step towards accelerating mobile applications.

An emerging set of mobile-cloud applications require real-time response, putting pressure on both computational and communication resources. This additional pressure on communication resources motivate a reformulation of the entire mobile-cloud computing process. Application based techniques, such as efficient scheduling and data caching, can be employed to alleviate some of the pressure. Alternatively, protocol level advances can provide improvement at a much lower layer, but require the adoption of non-standard protocols.
Objective
Enabling Real-Time Mobile Cloud Computing through Emerging Technologies aims to identify existing research topics, whether futuristic or readily-applicable, to allow the real-time execution of mobile cloud computing applications. The aspiration of this project is to become a collection of relevant research chapters in real-time mobile cloud computing encompassing various communication layers, in addition to comprehensive tutorials or surveys in these topics.
Target Audience
This book is intended to be invaluable to any M.S. or Ph.D. students and professors completing research in this field who need to be well versed in the most recent research and applications of mobile cloud computing.
Recommended Topics
This book will consist of approximately 20 edited chapters, prepared by authors from the academia and the industry. The submissions from the academia should focus on the theoretical foundation of real-time mobile-cloud computing, while submissions from the industry should give insight to the practicality of the proposed ideas, as well as existing applications. Possible submission topics include, but are not limited to:

1. Emerging or futuristic non-traditional protocols and their detailed theoretical assessments,
2. Emerging architectural communication components, e.g., cloudlets,
3. Emerging infrastructural components, such as, fibre,
4. Emerging applications requiring real-time response, e.g., real-time face recognition,
5. Emerging open source structures to allow application development,
6. Emerging techniques to enable secure mobile cloud computing,
7. Application cost structure of mobile cloud computing.
Submission Procedure
Please prepare a 2-3 page chapter proposal that clearly explains and illustrates your proposed chapter. The proposed chapter should include (I) author name(s), (II) a single contact email and an optional phone number, and (III) the CV of every author.
Publisher
This book is scheduled to be published by IGI Global (formerly Idea Group Inc.), publisher of the "Information Science Reference" (formerly Idea Group Reference), "Medical Information Science Reference," "Business Science Reference," and "Engineering Science Reference" imprints. For additional information regarding the publisher, please visit www.igi-global.com<http://www.igi-global.com>. This publication is anticipated to be released in 2015.
